Take the mall to Datang

Yuan Shan felt that Dai Yushi was keen to analyze the problem. As a businessman, the lowest guarantee when doing business is the issue of income. The price of coal is not expensive, but transportation is a big problem. The surrounding area is nothing, but if you want to transport it from Chang'an to Liangzhou, you need to consider the transportation cost, and Zhang Yong's approach is obviously not to estimate the transportation cost. This is not a decision that a businessman should make at all.

So there is only one explanation, and that is to deliberately curry favor with His Highness the Crown Prince and seek benefits for other things.

Yuan Shan shook his head after thinking about it. How old is His Royal Highness? Li Shimin is now in a period when Li Shimin's disputes are vigorous. Besides, it is not certain who will be the emperor in the future. It is difficult to change one's nature, and what His Royal Highness did during this period felt that everything tended to be profit-oriented.

It's really hard to say who will be in charge in the future. As for why Li Chengqian's personality changed suddenly, he doesn't know. I once heard that the theory of "history is irreversible" may be true.

"Yuan Pushe, although he has only passed through a few states, there are still some deficiencies in the system of the absolute local government." Dai Zhou said.

Dai Zhou's inquiry awakened Yuan Shan from his brief thinking.

"What is Dai Yushi referring to?" Yuan Shan asked.

"For example, the administrative rights of the local government. Take Tian Bowen as an example, because one person can cause Fengzhou to fall into a quagmire. Isn't this an abuse of power? There are also the number and combat effectiveness of local officers and soldiers. I think this is a hidden danger in the future." Dai Zhou said.

"Dai Yushi is really discerning. Regarding this point of view, I also feel that the power of the local administration is too great, so this time when I return to Chang'an, Dai Yushi is going to report this matter to His Majesty." Yuan Shan said.

"Naturally, this lower official will say it." Dai Zhou said directly.

It's not that Yuanshan is careful, but that a companion is like a tiger. This time the two of them came out together and went back together, no matter what they said, they had to be consistent.

The speed is slow when coming, but the speed is much faster when going back.

From Liangzhou to Chang'an, passing through Xingzhou and Fengzhou, the road was bumpy. This time, the journey was smooth with a horse-drawn carriage with shock absorbers.

It was delayed again for two days in Fengzhou, and five days later the convoy directly entered Chang'an City.

Yuan Shan prayed that such a thing would never happen in the future. He basically didn't do anything for half a month, and there were many dangers. If the officers and soldiers in Fengzhou really died, I'm afraid the matter would not be understood so quickly.

"Teacher Yuan, the last general will take his team back to report." Wei Dayou said.

"Well, let's go." Yuan Shan said.

Seeing Wei Dayou leaving with dozens of carts of goods, all of them belonged to Fengzhou businessmen, and they were probably the only ones who took advantage of this trip.

Because of the incident in Fengzhou, Yuan Shan was summoned into the palace as soon as he returned to the Hou Mansion.

As soon as Yuan Shan entered the door, he saw that Dai Zhou was already here. He wondered if this guy came here without even returning home. He was really impatient.

"I already know about the matter in Fengzhou. All the officials involved in this matter will be dismissed. They will be dealt with immediately after a retrial in Dali Temple. This time, you two have worked hard. I will give Dai Zuocheng [-] pieces of cotton cloth. As for Yuan Shanzhen, I will give it to you." Two good bars." Li Shimin said.

Yuan Shan was very helpless and said, is it wrong for me to have money, or is real money more reliable last time.

Then Dai Zhou confessed all the things that he found during the inspection, including some disadvantages and suggestions about local administration. Yuan Shan also admired Dai Zhou's dedication.

After Dai Zhou finished speaking, he also talked about the business situation for several weeks, and he really felt very boring in his heart.

"Your Majesty, with the establishment of my minister, the main purpose of developing commerce is to promote the development of related industries. The current situation in these states is still much worse. I still think that the people should be encouraged to do business, which promotes commercial transactions. The way of tax-free booths encourages them, so that with the support of a certain amount of funds, it is easy to form a business model. When there are more types of goods, the workshop will need more people, so that more people will have jobs. This way of development Only by continuing can Datang Commercial have a good development environment." Yuan Shan said.

The matter of tax exemption again made Li Shimin feel a headache, even an enlightened emperor would not be able to make such a decision.

"You guys are tired from the journey, so go back and rest, other things will be discussed later."

In this way, Li Shimin used this excuse to drive people out of the imperial city directly, and Yuan Shan could only go back to rest. He really couldn't take it anymore and needed at least a few days of rest.

After returning from Liangzhou, Yuan Shan returned to the Ministry of Economics and Development after a three-day rest to continue working. During the half month he was away, the pop-up crew started to imitate Journey to the West again, and many people's imaginations are very rich. I remember that the depiction of this kind of monster is very detailed.

Therefore, driven by the flash mob reality show, some craftsmen who make facial makeup have a place to play. Most of the character facial makeup and monster facial makeup are customized by the flash mob crew. They are very good at doing business. In addition to the facial makeup props customized by the crew, these craftsmen also make some gadgets for sale.

It was when these things were on the rise that they made a lot of money. At the same time, the sales volume of Manor Bookstore increased a lot after a period of time. Now the bookstore has dozens of scholars every day, so Datang Tabloid also started from The bookstore ordered the edition here.

It is said that Yuanjia's papermaking workshop was originally for the production of toilet paper wipes. Unexpectedly, after taking over the printing business, the business of the bamboo pulp papermaking workshop increased, so that the number of people working in the workshop now reached There are more than [-] people, most of whom are printing workers such as stereotype masters.

The workshops in and around Chang'an City have all begun to expand their staff after the development of Chang'an's business. There are more and more small workshops and larger workshops. The textile mills of the Cotton Chamber of Commerce, the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce, the Carpenters Union, and the distribution blacksmith shop under the Military Supervision Department, while the proportion of official shops of the Ministry of Economic Development is still relatively small.

When Yuan Shan learned of this situation, he had no choice but to hope that Wang Xiaotong could train a few more batches of students, but he didn't know that Wang Xiaotong's physical condition was not very good recently.

Chapter 577 Completion of Cangzhou Shipyard

Not long after returning to Chang'an, I originally thought that the relationship with Du Qianyu had made some progress, and planned to make a bigger breakthrough in such comforting days.

But things backfired, just when Yuan Shan relaxed and was about to be lazy, there was news from Cangzhou.

A week after Yuan Shan and others returned to Chang'an, the other two presidents of the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce came back.

The first time Zheng Yiyi, Wei Da, and Gong Shunan went to Yuanlai Teahouse together, they were very shocked to see the crowds on the first floor, after all, they hadn't seen any popular shows in Chang'an since they just came back.

"This office style is really unexpected." Zheng Manfu said.

These people were all arranged in the tea area on the second floor. The unique decoration style and peculiar style aroused infinite curiosity.

They were engaged in this industry themselves, and when they saw such a peculiar decoration, they immediately threw themselves into the discussion. When Yuanshan was in Cangzhou, he mentioned the matter of the building materials industry to them, and they didn't have so much energy to take care of it.

The reception staff quickly informed the situation of the visitors. When Yuan Shan came down from the third floor, he heard several of them discussing, and the people with him were still recording it. Look professional.

It may be that Yuan Shan was too involved in the discussion, and Yuan Shan went downstairs without being discovered.

"Zheng Yiyi, Wei Da, Gongshu Nan." Yuan Shan said.

They are more familiar with it and it is not abrupt to call them by their names directly, but Yuanshan's title is quite special so no one would call him by his name directly.

"Yuan Pushe, the decoration of your office is really unique and attractive." Zheng satisfied.

Yuan Shan knew that this was the nonsense of the other party, but he was still unconventional, so he immediately responded: "Long time no see, why did you come back from Cangzhou, there is no problem over there."

"Of course it's no problem. This is what I'm here to talk about today. Let's talk about the business first." Zhang Manfu said.

"Well, that's fine, after we finish talking about the business, I'll invite you to go to the Chunmanyuan Song and Dance Hall to have fun today." Yuan Shan said with a smile.

Zheng Yiman felt very familiar with the name, but felt that it was different. After thinking about it for a while, he never thought that there was such a place in Chang'an City.

Seeing people around him like Zheng Manfu explained a few words, Zheng Manfu suddenly realized that although he didn't know what a song and dance hall was, he had already guessed about it from the name, so he immediately responded: "That feeling Well, how can we be ungrateful for Yuan Pushe's treat?"

After a few promises, several people began to talk about serious business.

"The Cangzhou shipyard has been completed. Now the construction team of the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce is constructing the road in Cangzhou. It is expected that the construction will be basically completed in three months. The investment in this project in Cangzhou is very huge. We have put all the background of the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce in It's over here." Zheng satisfied.

"Don't worry, the investment of 1000 to [-] guan will be prudent. It's good news that the shipyard has been completed," Yuan Shan said.

It took millions of dollars of investment in one year to build a super shipyard at such a speed. The shipyard has not started production, but the surrounding businesses have been wiped out, and the wages paid can be earned back.

After Zheng Manfu finished talking about Cangzhou, he immediately said: "The purpose of our visit today is not only to explain the project in Cangzhou, but also to get Yuan Pushe's advice. After all, the shipyard has invested a lot, and the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce also needs to return some capital. Now hire The funds for so many projects of our employees are limited, and the speed is there, but they have not earned the corresponding money."

"Isn't your advantage quite obvious? Datang monopolizes the cement industry, what else do you want?" Yuan Shan said casually. He knew the situation of the building materials chamber of commerce. Therefore, Yuanshan still has some responsibility for the state of the building materials chamber of commerce.

"The Cangzhou project invested too much and didn't earn attitude rewards. Yuan Pushe must know about it. You don't want building materials merchants to stop at the status quo." Zheng Manfu continued.

"Don't worry, didn't I tell you about Luoyang before, the cement will not be sold less." Yuan Shan said.
